Phyllis Stewart: First, thanks to all who voted for my winning/tieing 5-7-5 entry called "A Terrible Injustice." I never write that sort of teensy tiny thing, but I couldn't resist that prompt, with the true story I had. Anyway, just really want to say that those who review an entry for a contest and say "good luck in the voting" but don't bother to vote keep the vote totals low. Winning/tieing with 6 votes when the third entry had 5 votes is largely luck, since there were not enough votes to make a fair contest, in my not-so-humble opinion. I wish more people would check the contest voting booths every day. You may find some stuff there (stories, poems, and authors new to you) that you really like. Read a few entries and maybe you'll get interested in what folks did with the topic. Maybe you'll even decide that one of them is worthy of YOUR vote. Just takes a few minutes, and it improves the site for all, including YOU. :) |

Phyllis Stewart: Thankfully, Tom has gotten the message from the majority, and we will have our site back to normal in the 'classic' version. Remember New Coke? Cola lovers complained, so Coca Cola Company brought back "Classic" Coke, so they called it. It didn't take long until both New Coke and "Classic" Coke disappeared in favor of plain old beloved Coca Cola. I predict this site will follow the same path. But it won't matter to me. I'll be drinking Classic FS myself. |

Phyllis Stewart: Not only is the site claustrophobic with monstrous pics so you can't see much of the top 12 and favorites without endless scrolling, but... It's so SLOW compared to the old one. There is nothing better here. It's all WORSE. Tom claims it's an easier interface. Maybe for newbies it is, but it's ugly and gives me a friggin headache. I don't think I'll stay past Xmas if all the broken features aren't fixed. This is a real shame. The site is ruined, for me at least. I no longer even feel like reading or posting. I hate coming here now. |

I don't know what, Tom's thinking, but this new set up is positively terrible. It's all very well him 'telling us' that it's better, but are we not the judges of whether something is better or not, given the fact that we are the users? I foresee a tsunami of members leaving FS. Like you Phyllis, I think it is unlikely that I shall renew my membership. I'm all for the fact that the site could have done with a face lift, but take it from me, and many others' Tom, you have butchered a perfectly functioning site into a non user friendly, eyesore. It is very unpleasant to use. Not because I am indifferent to change, but because it is now the pits... Good luck with your new members. I truly hope that you take note of what your consistent members think of these 'so called' improvements FS Bloody awful... - | ||

Phyllis Stewart: I really miss seeing everything at once on the home page. Having to use all these menus is a real pain! And the pictures on the top 12 etc are way too BIG. That purple bar gave me a headache earlier, and now I try again and the headache is back. I don't think I can even use this site now. :( Why change the site just to make it harder to use???? Stupid. |

I AM PROTESTING BY NOT REVIEWING ANYTHING, JUST GIVING 5. MAY NOT POST EITHER. - | ||

Phyllis Stewart: New is not always better. I miss the old format where we could see everything all at once. Now we are locked in separate rooms and must use a menu to move to another closed-off room. I'm getting claustrophobia. And the whole time that horrrible purrrrple bar at the top, which doesn't scroll away, is pulling my attention and giving me a headache! I hate the new format, but if things still worked, I might get used to it. A serious problem exists, however: we can no longer highlight words/lines to edit them! Tom has promised to take care of it, though. |
